Available by prescription only. Your prescriber decides the ingredients, strength, form, quantity, and directions.
Typically 24-48 hours.
A compounded topical cream combining cholesterol 2% and simvastatin 2%, prescribed for certain inherited disorders of cornification (skin scaling) such as CHILD syndrome and some forms of ichthyosis.
These notes are educational and do not replace directions from your prescriber or the label on your prescription.
This is a compounded topical cream that pairs cholesterol with simvastatin (a statin). It is used in some inherited disorders of cornification, where the skin produces too much scale. The statin lowers the build-up of upstream sterol precursors while the added cholesterol replaces the end-product the skin needs.
The cream is applied to affected areas as written on the prescription. The prescriber sets the strengths, base, quantity, and schedule. Because these are uncommon conditions, treatment is usually directed by a dermatologist or specialist.
